I did apply to get a job, many times, but no one ever hired me. I think my hyperactive nature didn't score me any points, and I remember when I went for interviews, I would ask all the questions - this probably confused the people who were hiring.

Hire slowly and fire fast.

When things go right (and they go right a lot - you just got to keep trying) there is nothing to really laugh about.

I battle to fall asleep at night. My mind races every other night. I have always been like this, for as long as I can reminder.

I am tough minded, but not hard hearted.

The movie industry is brutal. It is dangerous. It is, for most, soul destroying. Creating art (music, books, films, etc.) can be beautiful and liberating, but trying to sell art, well, that is the movie business. There are few winners, and lots and lots of losers.

I think most entrepreneurs would refer to themselves as "accidental". No one looks for stress and pain. You stumble on to it.
